Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa (CAMA)

The Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa (CAMA) is a coalition of companies from various industries, all with business interests in Africa, intended to bring the collective force and voice of the private sector to improve the impact of malaria control efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Launched by Marathon Oil in 2007, with GBCHealth as implementing partner, CAMA is designed to provide a forum for corporations working with governments and non-governmental organisations, to cooperate on existing malaria intervention projects, encourage the creation of new partnerships, share best practices, and promote understanding of the fight against malaria.
CAMA works to advance the business fight against malaria by providing a common platform of private sector cooperation in host-countries, and by sharing information and best practices. CAMA's goal is to build country-level capacity for effective malaria control and eventual elimination. CAMA also seeks to identify needs and gaps in-country and mobilises business contributions to fill them.
In addition, CAMA works to promote multi-company and multi-sector partnerships to increase the scale and impact of malaria control initiatives. This means encouraging more private sector companies in Africa to join existing companies in this movement to help support the implementation of new and existing malaria intervention projects. CAMA acts as a resource for other companies interested in getting involved in malaria control throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
According to CAMA, exchanging knowledge and current best practices while providing heightened visibility for corporate engagement on malaria control gives involved companies a new angle on their participation in social development. Involved companies work closely with the United States Malaria Coordinator on implementation of the President’s Malaria Initiative in order to advocate more widespread change.
CAMA has produced a "Company Management Guide: Implementing an Integrated Malaria Control Program"(See Related Summary link below)
